Trump claiming he "can do it again. Nobody can stop us." The words of a crazed dictator.

Dog walk report. -14 just after 6 this morning. Very slight bit of new snow. Just enough to camouflage the slippery spots. Sam is very intent on catching up on neighbourhood news 🗞️ ❤️🐕

NPR @npr.org President Trump has encouraged a fog of misinformation and conspiracy theories about the January 6 attack on the Capitol.⁠ ⁠ But January 6 was one of the most filmed crime scenes in American history.

Ryan Hoffman "Lola is having trouble with her feet due to the ice. Italian greyhounds feet can freeze quickly making it hard to walk and painful. So we are upgrading! This is her first time trying on boots so be patient"

European leaders issue a joint statement

Who knew those 2nd amendment zealots would only use their weapons to shoot school children? Talk about a big letdown.

It's ironic how so many don't like clowns, and are even terrified of them, yet half of the USA voted for one!

I love my country. I think our military for their service. If the military decides to invade other countries or cause harm to American people people, I will no longer cherish them. They have to stand up for themselves and for the country and for people of the country. That's America.

This situation is precisely why we have impeachment

My friend @charlotteclymer.bsky.social has written about Mark Kelly’s distinguished military career. This is not to be missed. open.substack.com/pub/charlott...

So sick & tired of the fake outrage coming from the Dems in Congress. About as useful as thoughts & prayers. No one buys your sad bullshit. Get this through you head. Trump is going to whatever the FUCK Trump wants to do until YOU stop him. He knows it & worse, SO DO YOU!

Decoding Fox News: "Trump thinks it was absolutely terrible that Maduro lied about an election. Trump continues to lie about the 2020 election. He lost. Biden won. He hoped a mob of angry supporters might help him stay in power...but Maduro is bad and Trump is good"

ICE is no longer arresting immigrants only. They are arresting anyone who films or speaks out. Sending them to concentration camps. I have been criticized for my analogy to 1930’s Germany. That is what we are witnessing.

Seeing that Vladimir Putin interferes with our elections, can he be kidnapped too?

Uneducated voters will always be a greater danger to this country than immigrants.

China is Venezuela’s largest creditor, having financed infrastructure in exchange for oil. If U.S. control cuts China off from that oil, the geopolitical fallout would be severe. Some analysts warn this could escalate fast raising risks of great-power conflict and democratic backsliding at home.

Trump thinks he is the President of the western hemisphere. Donald and Melania Trump, Ivanka, Jared Kushner, Donald Jr., Eric, Barron have all made billions while Trump has been in office. Their assets need to be seized. There should be protests at all of Trump properties, including Mar-a-Lago.

Back in Aug of 2024, a nurse shark with albino-xanthochromism was caught near #CostaRica. This resulted in a publication to Marine Biodiversity releasedin Aug. 2025. That caused a bunch of late 2025 pop. sci. articles then....but ScienceAlert is covering it *now* 🤔 share.google/hVph6YyCaZNy...

If kidnapping a foreign president isn’t enough to get him out of office, why would the Epstein files be a silver bullet?

#OTD in 1925, Nellie Tayloe Ross was sworn in as the governor of #Wyoming ...becoming the first female governor in U.S. history. She went on to become the first female Director of the United States Mint in 1933. #history #firsts

Been seeing a lot of hate online for California's new FAST law which basically allows the DMV to auto-revoke your license for a speeding ticket... IF you're going 100+ mph Can we please be so ffr rn. Nobody NEEDS to be going over 100mph 🤦‍♀️ You deserve to get your license revoked at that point

There are reports of gunfire or anti-aircraft fire in Caracas, Venezuela, with the cause of the incident currently unknown.
